Not sure if anybody on here is using a TITAN Series 2 Dry Sump Pump
But if you are make sure you carry out the Mod' mentioned in the Technical buletin on TITAN's website:
http://www.titan.uk.net/newsdetail.php?id=40
a Mate missed this buletin and has Knackered the Bottom end of his NA Cossie engine due to the problem
To say He's gutted is an understatement as it was a high spec' engine that had been on the engine dyno and the rollers before the fault
occured 
Posting this as i wouldn't want anybody else to suffer the same fate...
i take it you have heard then, what a shame!
but now he has to stick the old pinto back in 
i wouldn't like to be his wallet at the moment, i bet it hates him
Yep, heard just after it happend Mate and saw one of the Steel Rods the other day
Even the Crank is bent
So the 200 horse Anchor is now back in 
Fingers crossed he has more luck with that...
I would have thought he could be compensated from titan seeing as the item was not fit for purpose
I would agree - but it depends when his failed, before or after titan told him about the modification.
Crikey.. is it a condition of sale that you MUST check with Titan for 'technical bulletins'?
When did he buy the product?
Did he have a letter from Titan for it?
If not, I believe he has a strong case to get them to fix/replace his engine.
To me it seems that the sales of goods act is pretty clear and they should pay for the repair, or a replacement, bottom end as a consequential
loss.

He's less likely to get them to pay for it to be put on the dyno/rollers at their expense but that shouldn't prevent him demanding it as the
courts might find in his favour.

Well, there is only one way they can prove that the bottom end is of similar specification to the one damaged and that is on the rollers.

I'd assume they supply identical parts. For a top end you'd have more argument but for the bottom end I'd be happy with like for like replacement power wise.
Thanks for the Replies Lads
He received No notification from anybody about the potential failure
The engine is now in bits and being checked for further damage
TITAN have the pump back for inspection
Although its pretty obvious what has happened
The matter is now with TITAN for consideration of compensation
Will advise what happens...
